Sergeant Rusk
The location of this NPC is unknown.
Raised by a colony of pacifist Chagrians, Rusk rebelled against his family's beliefs and enlisted with the Republic military as soon as he could. At first, he proved to be a brilliant soldier and was identified as a rising star in the Republic's ranks. Somewhere along the way, however, his bravery crossed the line into recklessness.
Although he still accomplished his missions, casualty rates among his squad rose astronomically. Rusk quickly became a pariah among other soldiers, including his superiors. His aggressive pursuit of victory over the Empire at any cost has earned him many medals from politicians, but no promotions from his commanders.

I'm not sure why bioware gave us a companion with armstech crafting bonuses when armstech is of absolutely no use to a jedi knight, unless you've already gotten every force user crew skill (plus cybertech and biochem) on other characters.

Reply to LeminaAusa : As careful as I planned my character creations and their craft, I missed looking up future companions' specs and have come across the same drawbacks you mentioned. It would have made better sense for BioWare to have aligned the companions attributes along the the most useful skills of your character and most probable choice for crafter for Jedi Knight: Artifice, Synthweaver, Cybertech, and Biochem make more sense.

With Biochem 400 for my Jedi, I get to make and use the reusable Rekata healing and find it VERY useful since, even with the best armor she can wear, gets dinged more than I would like and needs healing. I have to try Doc more often to see if that helps, instead of the ranged Sargent Rusk. Although I did find best results with Rusk when I sent him in to attack first, wait until he is 25% weakened, then charge in. We end up more often nearly equal in hits at the end of the fights with Elites. Scourge is a joke when he starts out getting high (rising green healing points) as he first charges into battle. Since it does not appear to increase his endurance, it must be just the game's way of showing he loves to Kill, Kill, Kill.

We're working on spreadsheet to calculate affection gain by companion gifts :)
